Our drunken song... It must have been too loud.
My feet are dangling from the jumbo's side -
Best vehicle for a long safari ride,
Best view of hills whose fog is our cloud.
The handler stops our elephant to show
Some tiger paw prints on the dusty path,
The cat we spooked is now lying low,
Like fedayeen of routed Ba'ath.
To cut it short, before it gets to long -
That's how we got paw prints for a song.
